Our project proposal is to deliver four youth club focused activities in the heart of locations most in need. Each of the following regions will host the youth provision for one evening per week, for two hours and delivered over 45 weeks of the year. - Fleetwood - Cleveleys - Preesall - Garstang Sessions would have a relaxed but disciplined feel to them, with reward and recognition being key ingredients to success. Highly experienced and qualified youth workers and sports coaches would work collaboratively to create positive outcomes for the young people. We envisage sessions having no more than 20 young people, due to the higher risk nature of those engaged from a safeguarding and health and safety perspective. Activities such as Art, Sport, Educational workshops, Cooking and Music will be delivered each week, with a targeted approach specific to the demographic profiling and themes surrounding national topics and international awareness events.
What we'll deliver:
Why it's a great idea:
The purpose of the project is to provide young people in each location with a safe space to access purposeful and preventative activity, whilst reducing the risk of youth anti social behaviour (ASB). Within the regions of Preesall and Garstang there is real lack of opportunity available for young people to take part in activities, developing social groups with a wider network of people whilst learning key skills, such as cooking and employability skills. (State of Wyre 2021) Fleetwood has large pockets of deprivation, with the majority of the town being in the top 10% most deprived areas in the country (IMD, 2021). The project will drive further community cohesion with youth led social action supporting community aims of environmental sustainability, culture and heritage and specific community engagement. The youth club's will welcome bi-annual job fairs encouraging local business to engage with young people and explain the skillsets required for each industry.

We are the largest provider of community-based physical activity programmes in Wyre. Our programmes have raised attainment in schools, developed employment pathways, helped people get healthier and stay more active, built stronger safer communities, and ultimately made a difference to many people’s lives. Our 2019/20 Impact report outlines that we delivered 30 different projects/activities for 13,000+ local people across our 4 programme areas.
Our Sport programme provided 1150 hours of free community sports sessions, 375 pre-school children took part in physical activity in early years settings, 6,000 bookings were made to our soccer schools and sports camps, 500 children took part in sports tournaments and 330 girls aged 9-16 took part in football coaching sessions.
Our Health & Wellbeing projects offer local people including children and families’ opportunities to exercise regularly and increase their knowledge around nutrition/healthy eating. We also deliver a programme called Healthy Heads, which helps children with low-level mental health issues in primary schools build resilience, confidence, gratitude, and so far, we have reached 5000 young people. Our achievements include 1800 young people taking part in our schools healthy eating programme, 900 young people attending our joy of moving festival and we delivered 70 mental health workshops.
Inclusion is a key area of our work, and our projects enable us to engage with some of the hardest to reach and vulnerable members of the community. We work with many people from areas of high deprivation in Fleetwood and offer them opportunities to participate in several projects that encourage healthier more active lifestyles, and interaction with others.
Our Education programme works closely with local schools to engage with young people through a variety of projects, and we help teachers build their confidence. Our achievements include 80 people accessed our employability training programme with 98% improving their self-esteem, 87% of our BTech students exceeding their targeted grades and 85% proceeded to university.
